FAQ: Can Access Trailers be used to carry passengers on the highway?

Most Access Trailers purchased are used on private farm/estate land but occasions can arise when users may need to cross or travel along the highway.

Following contact with the Driver & Standards Agency it is our understanding that a trailer carrying non-paying passengers "which is type approved to the European Brake Directive Standard 71/320EC and fitted with a brake control that can be activated by a passenger, does appear to comply with the requirements of the brake directive. Therefore the trailer can be used
on the highway".

Access Trailers using an overrun braking system come with the aforementioned European Type Approval and now offer the customer option of an on-board handbrake that can operated by a passenger in the case of an emergency.

We also recommend that trailers which are used on the highway are fitted with rear flashing warning lights or beacons.

It is also essential that as part of the risk assessment of the route, equipment and staff being used the trailer has an attendant/responsible person on board when carrying passengers and that you check your insurance covers such use.

* All TDL Models are fitted with an emergency accessible handbrake as standard.

Warranty

Access Trailers come with a 12 month warranty from the date of sale. This guarantee does not cover component parts or defect arising from neglect, misuse or unauthorised modification.

Anchor points on Access Trailers for lap seat belts and wheelchair restraint straps have not been crash tested. Servicing of fire extinguishers and replacement of contents in first aid kits supplied by Access Trailers becomes the responsibility of customers upon purchase of their trailer.
